Ngorongoro crater
Ngorongoro crater
After breakfast, your safari guide will take you to Ngorongoro Crater, where you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to animals such as herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another drawing card for this scenic national park is its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large, shallow, alkaline lake in the southwest corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. Large numbers of flamingos, hippos, and other waterfowl can usually be seen here. Finally, your safari guide will drive you to Engutoku tok for a short walking safari close to the hippo pool. Enjoy yourself, and if you need to, you can use the washroom here. In the late afternoon, you will return to the lodge.
